Downtown
Mayfield-Green District
A strategic priority of One South Euclid
Where community, culture, and commerce come together
Downtown South Euclid
This page provides updates on our progress as we partner with the City of South Euclid, local businesses, and residents to revitalize and promote our downtown area.
In 2018, OSE worked with the City of South Euclid and consultants at Yard + Company to shape a plan for reimagining our downtown. Together, we envisioned a Mayfield-Green District that serves as both a gathering place for residents and a destination for the wider community.
First shared at a public meeting in January 2019, this vision continues to inspire the work of our Mayfield-Green Action Committee: building a downtown that blends history, culture, and modern amenities into a thriving, walkable district.
Mayor Welo shares with the community the plan to strengthen the downtown district.
Activities
Landmark Commission
The City's Landmark Commission designates, protects and preserves the historical, architectural and/or cultural significance of homes, commercial buildings, and works of public art in our community. In the Mayfield-Green district, the designation can protect historical buildings that provide a sense of place while encouraging property owners to take advantage of economic development tools available exclusively to historic structures. Interested property owners can apply for consideration of landmark status below.
Black Forest Bar & Grill, built in 1923, gained Landmark status in 2023.
What We're Doing
Public Art & Engagement
A strong downtown brings people together. We support:
-
Events & Programming such as the Food Truck Park concert series, Rock the Block, the City’s holiday celebrations, and other initiative like Restaurant Week and Shop Local that promote our community.
-
Public Art that reflects our history, identity, and pride while sparking curiosity and belonging.
-
Inclusive participation in our committees so residents, businesses, and stakeholders all have a voice in shaping our future.

Mayfield-Green Zoning District
In 2022, the district’s boundaries were expanded to correct improper zoning, strengthen the district’s existing amenities, and lay the foundation for future development. The rezoning creates a vibrant and accessible downtown district that proactively supports new and existing businesses, and encourages population growth.
No homes, businesses or religious institutions were displaced by the zoning expansion and the existing permitted uses within the Mayfield-Green Zoning District remain the same. The district has simply expanded to a larger footprint. Any new development that occurs must complement existing businesses and residential neighborhoods.
